[Intro]
C F

Am G C F

[Verse]
C F
There's a sky full of lights, and none of them stars
Am G C F
But each white, silvery flicker's, a faithful reminder to us
C F
Of a weight that's in youth, that makes a dick of us all
Am G C F
If it happened today, then it's probably happened before
C F
In a crowd unfamiliar, I just wanna touch a familiar face
Am G C F
And make friends at the parties I've feared, the likes of an age
C F
To be wanted with truth, and make formidable love
Am G C F
See light in myself, that I see inside everyone else I know
[Verse]
C F
It's not a lacking of spine, nor of physical pulse
Am G C F
It's just a feeling of distance, akin to a feeling of loss
C F
Of love in the youth, of my limited life
Am G C F
That passed in a violent, and ritual screwing inside
C F
the years unfamiliar, are made of increasingly digital days
Am G C F
And I am grieving the loss of myself, with frightening malaise
C F
When there's weightness in youth, and the sum of it's small
Am G C F
Just stand in the darkness, and laugh with your heel on its throat
[Chorus]
C Am F C
'Coz not everything means something honey
F Am C
So say the unsayable, say the most human of things
Am F C
And if everything is temporary, I
F Am C
Will bear the unbearable, terrible triteness of being
[Post-Chorus]
F
Alone in my house
Am G
Frozen in time
F
But don't get me wrong now honey
C
I'm trying
[Interlude]
F Am G C F
[Verse]
C F
There's a warmth in the eyes and a clearness of thought
Am G C F
When the deepest of sighs and the frankest of shadows are gone
C F
We're pushing a stone, up a mountainous waste
Am G C F
And the lines at the store look like lines on a beautiful face
C F
See, I'm not so assured, nor unusually strong or outstandingly brave
Am G C F
I'm more just fumbling around in the dark, for the bulk of my day
C F
When there's weight that's in youth and the sum of it's small
Am G C F
I will stand in the darkness and laugh with my heel on its throat
[Chorus]
C Am F C
'Coz not everything means something honey
F Am C
So say the unsayable, say the most human of things
Am F C
And if everything is temporary, I
F Am C
Will bear the unbearable, terrible triteness of being
[Post-Chorus]
F
Alone in my house
Am G
Frozen in time
F
But don't get me wrong now honey, I'm Okay
[Instrumental]
C F

Am G F

[Bridge]
C F
Ah cast me a line, ah honey cast me a line
Am G C F
Won't you fear me tonight? Goddamn do you fear me tonight?
C F
Ah pass me a light, ah honey pass me a light
Am G C F
Won't you feel me tonight? Goddamn do you feel me tonight?
[Chorus]
C Am F C
'Coz not everything means something honey
F Am C
So say the unsayable, say the most human of things
Am F C
And if everything is temporary, I
F Am C
Will bear the unbearable, terrible triteness of being
